gixxie750 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Since i have decided not to do any high speed street riding anymore i thought i would put on a rider school of sorts. I recomend that all riders take some sort of MSF course first so they can get the basics of riding a motorcycle. These rider schools will be held on Sundays along with the normal street riding group. I am going to set a pace for new people and help them work on their skills of leaning the bike and nagotiating twisty roads. For all of you that want to learn how to drag knee or for those of you who simply want to learn more about your bike and its potential. I really wont be able to help riders who dont have a min amount of gear(helmet,jacket,boots,gloves and heavy duty pants). Gear is mandatory!!!!! Let me know if anyone from here is interested.

BornSinner Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Glad to hear that you are using your skills to teach and train other riders.....I'm sure you will have a lot of people very interested in this...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I think allot of crashes can be avoided by training and the MSF course doesnt help with the higher speed twisty roads. I want to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nochknstrps Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 This a good idea, might want to have some kind of legal write up tough. You know just in case someone wants to take advantage of your charity work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 that is a a really great idea. I'd love to join in, but i'm a bit far away (NE ohio... basically, the farthest place from the nati). I guess I'll just have to keep watching the rapidly disappearing backs of CORE guys, and hope they don't vanish quite as quickly as last year.Have fun!

Moto-Brian Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Are you doing this on the street?!?!? Please tell me you're trying to get involved in some school thing on the track or whatnot...Also, insurance is going to KILL you. First guy/gal who gets hurt doing your school and decides to hold you at fault, you're doomed. The track day school insurance is WAY high...

flounder Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) It doesnt matter if he is trying to do this as a business or just try and pass along some track skills to new street riders. The first time someone gets hurt while trying to follow him on the street, he will be doomed. Someone will press charges saying that he is teaching people how to be reckless on the street and endangering peoples lives. No matter if his intentions are good, any judge/jury will agree that teaching track skills in a street environment is an endangerment to all those involved or bystanders. DO NOT TRY AND TEACH TRACK SKILLS ON THE STREET. YOU WILL BE FOUND AT FAULT FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.And dont take this personally but your past BMV record and news exposure is only going to make it that much worse on you.

ninjachk08 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 what do most of us do anyway?? follow the leader. yes, i know you should keep your own pace, but you will never get better or faster if you don't push yourself a little. i know for me, i do that by following someone. i love the idea.

gixxie750 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 i am not at all resposible for how people ride. I know its sue happy world out there,but i dont think it will be like that. Lizard i am doing this on the street with people that are not as fast or new to riding. I will never break the speed limit or any road rules. I am just going to ride in front of people and behind them and help them with tips and pointers. It is not a buss. nor will it be run like one. Its for people who are going out to ride,but not be pressured to follow the fast guys. I know track skills can only be learned at the track,but theres things i've learned street riding that i can pass along to people. Obviously i want everyone to go to the track and learn there,but most people go out blindly on the street and get hurt or killed. I will deff try to get everyone to the track,but till they do they still need help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'll teach a course for half whatever gixxie wants, and I'll do it on a sanctioned racing surface*!!*For those that like to live their lives 1/4 mile at a time only. What, no one likes acceleration anymore? It's always the twisties with you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think it is great to cretique ( haha spell ) each others riding at every stop. It's a great way to learn !

gixxie750 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I know its stupid to you all who have had mass track practice to only go to the track. I have a ton of friends with friends who are new to riding and they will get hurt or die trying if someone doest hold their speed back. I'm just trying to help our sport out a little and it starts at the street level then they want to do track time. I will use this time to work on the simple things and maybe it will help people. Thanks for the imput either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little more than follow the leader when you are offering to teach in an open forum. And one really shouldn't play follow the leader. That's how accidents go from one bike to multiple. Follow the leader = target fixation = multi bike crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a good idea to get some constructive criticism and direction toward smarter riding habits. The twisties we have are a very good place to learn. I learned there within a week of riding my first bike. And my BMV records and news exposure(or lack thereof) are flawless. As long as people are not moronic enough to realize that they are not taking an actual school so much as a guidance to get thru the novice part of riding from mutual friends, it could be a fantabulous idea....

SAMBUSA Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 One more thing, riders that are taught by an amatuer(sorry that's what you are) are going to pick up his bad habits making for even more bad riders.(Never ridden with you so I'm not calling you a bad rider per se) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
